In Search of the Holy Spirit: The Paraclete - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Holy Spirit Who is the Holy Spirit? Who is the Holy Spirit in me? Who is the Holy Spirit to us? Who is the Holy Spirit to me? These are a few questions we ask divine revelation, from the Old Testament thru the New, about the Holy Spirit. These questions have been asked by countless Christians throughout Christian History. Why write more about these issues? Because it is possible to give glory to God by turning our attention in loving praise of his gifts and grace. There can be no other reason. All I hope is that our every word will be directed to his praise and glory as well as bringing real knowledge to those who are seeking the truth. Lastly, may this meditation give us a way to continue to lift up our hearts to him who is always seeking those who worship in “spirit and in truth.” The Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, and he is infinite in Majesty, yet he lives in the faithful soul thru sanctifying grace. The Holy Spirit always reveals himself to us as the sanctifying Spirit of God who leads us on the path of righteousness and holiness. In other words, he is the Spirit of the Father and the Son. We read in Genesis that God “formed man out of the clay of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and so man became a living being.” (Gen. 2:7) It is God’s nature to give life, and the Spirit of God is that life he breathes forth over creation. Besides the natural life, he gives to us God has raised man to a higher level of intimacy with him, which is the life of sanctifying grace. Grace allows us to come closer to God by living his thoughts in our minds and acting thru his love in our lives. God’s Spirit is alive in a creation and sustains it in life. Jesus promised this same Spirit to the Samaritan woman when he said: “he who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst, the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (Jn. 4:14) This is where Jesus wishes us to live and dwell with him, in eternal life.
